Arent the ground anchors held down by screws (the special concrete ones?)

LoopyLee · 08-14-2008, 2:15 PM

Late this afternoon there was a thunder storm in Banbury and I rode into the tail end of it when I came home.. over the other side of town the water was pushing the drain covers out of their holes.. and it stinks there.. i'm bloody sure that was sewerage running down the roads..

Yeah, we'll work something out. But tonight is not the night.

Seems like an eternity since you ordered it Strummin.

'blade? Just because it has a CBR sticker on it doesn't make it a "Fireblade"!

It's what I'd call a "FireShuriken". Yes, the baby is sleeping in the garage. Photos to come.

Some probably are. The one I have is called a Rhino Defiant anchor. It has 2 prongs which protrude from the base of it, and they go into the holes drilled into the concrete floor - and "glued" down. Well, that's the plan...

LoopyLee... ewwwww....!!!! I hope you have something more aromatic in the house!

macca9540 · 08-16-2008, 4:41 AM

Just went to oil the chain and check tyre pressures for tomorrow and thought I'd start Rhonda up while she is up on the stands.

flat battery. I hav'nt started her for at least 3 weeks because I've been working and the

battery decided to give up. I"ll put it on the charger over night and hope it does the job. If not there will be a really

p!ssed off convict in the morning.

Poor little convict....

*battery discharges itself after about 2 weeks (it gets down after a week...it might be depressed?! but once run for a bit she's as happy as a pig in shiii.... brown smelly stuff)

My blade used to be able to withstand about 3/4 weeks without charge, and then it would struggle but eventually start. With the alarm it only takes about two weeks and its gone.

Does that mean you leave the alarm off? .....Where's my mask and stripy jumpa*

*everyone knows thieves wear masks, stripy jumpers and carry a bag labelled SWAG*
*except in oz were they dress for a BBQ and drink lambrusco

Twincam · 08-16-2008, 5:29 PM

SSB, its wear not were

Nope, she is fully alarmed all of the time and also has locks and steering locked (won't do much but will help slow them down (and my insurance will be void if not used)).

The Hornet and FB are parked in front of everything, so if you managed to get into the garage without being attacked by the dogs, the alarms will deffo go off - The Hornet needs a new PC board as the Datatool S3 ones have a common fault where the liquid level dried up from being stood in one position.

That's what I put (look^)

and for correcting my spelling, you wait....

Once I don the mask & stripy jumpa, I'm coming to Londinium and gunna take that challenge!!

The look on your face as you open the garage door to find no dogs, no steering lock, no alarm, no garage... just a door and bikes exactly as left should be priceless

I woke up this morning and found myself unable to shut my mouth ! No that's not quite right i can't bring my teeth together, which means i'll not be able to chew my food. Maybe i should have put this in the weight loss section.
